Description

Source. Monstrous Compendium - Kara Tur.

The bisan is a lesser spirit associated with a particular species of tree, usually one that is valued for its sap, gum, wood, or oils. These spirits most commonly are associated with camphor trees, but sometimes are linked to teak or mahogany.

The bisan’s natural form is that of a beautiful woman. She has long, flowing hair — either dark brown, black, or white — and soft green eyes. She wears a blue or pale green silken robe. Her apparent age as well as her lifeforce is bound to a single tree. Depending on the tree’s age, she may look young, middle-aged, or elderly. She may reflect her tree’s appearance in other ways, too — wearing the flowers of the tree in her hair, for example, or, if her tree is mahogany, having dark, reddish brown skin.

Bisan are seldom encountered as women, however. They can polymorph self at will, and prefer the forms of insects, usually fruit files, honey bees, or wasps.

Bisan speak the language of their own race and no other.
